MassDOT NOI Heat Exchange Pump

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is seeking to procure a Maxi-Therm heat exchange pump unit for the Transportation Building located at 10 Park Plaza in Boston, Suffolk County. MassDOT is posting a Notice of Intent to award a contract to Little Engineering Sales & Service of Canton, as Vicinity Energy has offered a substantial financial rebate for the installation of the specific Maxi-Therm Mod# MCU-1240G-30F-125P heat exchanger. However, MassDOT is soliciting responses from any other interested and qualified entities capable of providing the same or a more competitive solution by July 10, 2020 at 3:00 PM via the COMMBUYS platform. The estimated cost of the heat exchanger is $190,700, with a supplier rebate of $80,000, resulting in a net cost to MassDOT of $110,700. The heat exchanger must meet specific technical requirements and have a 5-year limited warranty. MassDOT will review any responses received and determine whether to proceed with the Offeror's proposal, withdraw the notice, or accept an offer from another vendor providing a more competitive cost or better value.

The procurement is open to all qualified entities, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. MassDOT has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the solicitation does not mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget range for the procurement is estimated at $110,700, based on the net cost to MassDOT after the supplier rebate.
